Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roof structure for a rigid motor vehicle roof that can be opened, with which in particular a passenger car can be used as an open vehicle or as a closed vehicle.
  • the roof structure according to the invention can be used for a two-seater convertible.
  • DE 100 21 464 AI also relates to a vehicle with a vehicle roof that can be opened and which has longitudinal members that are fixed to the body. Furthermore, a movable roof part device is provided for optionally closing or at least partially releasing the roof opening and with a rear window adjoining the vehicle roof.
  • the roof part device has roof part elements which are guided displaceably on lateral guides and can be stored in a rear storage space when the roof part device is opened, for example being folded like an accordion or rolled up like a roller blind.
  • the rear window can be lowered into a position in which it can be ben Opening of the roof frame is removed and is at least partially arranged under a trunk lid.
  • the roof section elements or slats are moved along the side longitudinal spars and into the storage space in the vehicle's longitudinal direction.
  • DE 42 03 228 C2 relates to a similar construction in which a folding roof, louvered roof or roller roof is moved into a storage space provided in the rear of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to open the vehicle roof.
  • a plurality of interconnected individual slats are provided, which are introduced into a storage space in the open position. They are moved there from the closed position in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, and wound up like a roller shutter around a top roller.
  • the roof frame and the C-pillars of the vehicle can be lowered into the rear area of the motor vehicle, the front roof frame being pivotable into the vehicle interior about a vertical axis in the direction of the rear roof frame.
  • the front and rear roof frames are moved together along the inside of the C-pillar so that neither the front roof frame The rear roof frame still protrudes beyond the C-pillar.
  • the unit consisting of the roof frame and the C-pillar is then sunk into the body of the vehicle.
  • a folding roof wagon in which a front roof part, which also contains side roof frame parts, and a rear roof part, which also contains side roof frame parts, can be pivoted relative to one another about an axis running perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the vehicle and into a storage space can be stored under a boot lid of a motor vehicle.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a roof structure for a rigid motor vehicle roof that can be opened, which can be opened completely and which takes up little storage space in the rear area of the vehicle when the vehicle roof is open.
  • front refers to an orientation in the forward direction of the motor vehicle.
  • the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle accordingly designates the direction in which the vehicle travels when driving straight ahead and forward.
  • the "inside” of Roof elements that side that faces the passenger compartment when the roof is closed.
  • the invention is based on the idea of providing an opening possibility for a rigid motor vehicle roof by pivoting the roof parts as well as the roof frame parts, in each case about axes that are perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the vehicle. This makes it possible to avoid a displacement of the roof parts along the roof frame parts in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Thus, relatively large roof parts can be used, which contributes to an attractive appearance. Because both the roof frame parts can be pivoted with respect to one another and the roof parts can be pivoted with respect to the individual roof frame parts, the vehicle can also be opened completely without roof frame parts hindering the complete opening of the vehicle roof.
